One of #Haftar’s tanks he left across Northern Chad. The turrets couldn’t move fast enough to track the Toyota’s with anti Tank missiles. They call Haftar “Son of a Bitch” here cuz the asshole left thousands of landmines everywhere. Still clearing today. Image
Haftar’s old base at Wadi Doum in Chad still has plenty of Soviet era junk. The sand blast work was n this burnt out Libya Air Force Transport looks like fine art. All pics c RYP all rights reserved Image
Here’s a quiz for aviation buffs. What the hell is a Trinidad and Tobago registered plane doing in the ass end of nowhere #Chad? The engines are clean @Gerjon_ The locals don’t have a clue. Looks like gear failure on the incredible steel plate runway a slick as ice. Image
Trivia buffs. This was Haftar’s house in 1987 at Wadi Doum when he was rolled up by the Chadians in the Toyota War (with help from the French and CIA) He was captured with his female secretary (cough, cough) all pics copyright RYP all rights reserved. ImageImage

“Raven was largely staffed by U.S. intelligence community veterans, who were paid through an Emirati cyber security firm named DarkMatter”

Some background on the DPA next. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
DarkMatter is just one step of the Find, Fix and Finish kill chain. Currently there are two kill teams operational in Europe and soon. Roth America…both focused on Saudi dissidents because the fat man pays the bills the UAE buys the tech. nytimes.com/2021/09/14/us/…
Tahnoon’s DarkMatter aka G42 is using Covid to Gene sequence to find people and then kill them using cutouts and mercenaries. Tahnoon is partners with Prince in L6. trtworld.com/magazine/is-em…

Now if you could just add the Find Fix and Finish team hired by the Saudi and Emirati families and currently active you would have a whiz bang story. citizenlab.ca/2021/09/forced…
The Gulfies also have their very own terrorist list. asumetech.com/the-uae-lists-…
The media tends to hyperfocus on one element of the The F3EAD cycle (Find, Fix Finish, Exploit, Analyze and Disseminate) but there is a reason why dictators need to know dissidents locations. There are few if any consequences to those who aid and abet…like NSO

Madonna is now your Nazi granny flasher with butt implants. Anyone remember MTV?
I suppose talent is ultimately about the ability to make music relevant and entertaining. Here is mid 50's Roger Prince having some fun.

The talibs downfall began when they demanded the UN and NGOs share their millions. The UN sent in junket journos forever casting the talibs as the bad guys. The talibs still want free foreign money to “fix” their country but have no plans to modify their bumpkin behavior.
we focus on western values but the talibs don’t even have the basic skills to run or manage the much larger, more populous nation. An armed uneducated generation raised on war and piracy will not do well. And we simply won’t tolerate their tribal shenanigans passed off as justice
There are also journos in Afghanistan documenting each failure. This won’t end well. China and Russia may pour in to strip mine but the talibs do not do well with modern extractive contracts since they are used to usurious strong arm terms and no investment.

Major renovations at the UAE drone base. SkyAvia moving aircraft to Rawalpindi. Afghan pilots now heading to Abu Dhabi. Somethings up. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
Or are they coming here too? wsj.com/articles/afgha…
Things are in flux but somehow those aircraft magically disappeared from Termiz and some ended up Dushanbe while the little birds were likely flown in the IL 76s to Pakistan. Same company Prince used to smuggle helos to Libya. hindustantimes.com/world-news/isi…

Omar al-Bayoumi worked for Saudi intelligence. Doesn't that doesn't directly implicate the nation in 9/11 planning, execution, results and consequences? npr.org/2021/09/12/103…
2003: "The FBI, according to the report, found the connection "somewhat suspicious." baltimoresun.com/bal-te.saudi06…
I can keep going. "Hani Hanjour was the hijacker Collins claimed to have told the FBI about while Hanjour was in flight training in Phoenix." You might remember Collins from my show and book "Hunter, Hammer Heaven". The early cel was pinged hard. abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1…
